Chapter 369

Sun Manrou was secretly delighted to see how clueless Tong Xuelu was.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

She scolded her with a frown, “How could you be so unkind, Comrade. Not only do you not feel bad at all at over Xiao Qi’s death, you gone as far as to come up with so many different ways to cook it. That’s so terrible of you!”Before Tong Xuelu could even respond to that, someone shouted from behind them. “Just what’s so terrible about that? Chicken are raised to be eaten. Are you going to take them in to be a part of the family?”Sun Manrou’s tears stopped at the corners of her eyes, “……”Tong Xuelu almost busted out laughing.Very well done, Old Mr. Wen!Sun Manrou bit down on her lip and said, “That’s not what I meant, Grandpa Wen. But this is no ordinary chicken. This is Xiao Qi, the chicken that you raised since it was a baby chick. But this comrade here……”“What do you know?” Old Mr. Wen walked out and said impatiently. “I raised Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba for Xuelu’s meals. She can do with them whatever she pleases!” And just what do you have to do with any of these?Had it not been that she was a female and she had always been docile and appeased him, there was no way that Old Mr. Wen would be so polite to her right now.Sun Manrou, upon hearing his words, felt awkward and embarrassed. She almost started crying for real.“I’m sorry, Grandpa Wen. I didn’t know that you raised the chicken for this comrade. I thought……”As she spoke, Sun Manrou’s eyes reddened again.Old Mr. Wen frowned. “Why are you crying? It wasn’t like I have scolded you. Oh right. Why are you here today? I thought we’ve already finished with the interview?”Sun Manrou’s expression froze on her again. “I’ve made some snacks and wanted to bring them over in person to thank Grandpa Wen for everything that you have done. Would you like to have a taste?”Old Mr. Wen, “Didn’t I tell you to stop bringing things over?”Sun Manrou bit her lip and looked like she was about to start crying. “I’ve heard that Grandpa Wen loves sweets so I’ve made a point to take some lessons.”Seeing that the girl looked so aggrieved, Old Mr. Wen decided to give up on the subject and took the snacks from her.Low and behold, Sun Manrou did not stop while she was ahead. “Aren’t you going to try some, Grandpa Wen?”Worried that she would start crying again, Old Mr. Wen took a piece out and tried it.“How is it, Grandpa Wen? I heard that this comrade is a cook. Who do you think is a better cook?”Old Mr. Wen, “Xuelu, of course. You have to ask? This is just alright. Here, Xiao Zong. All yours.”Sun Manrou, “……”Tong Xuelu almost snorted out loudly.She didn’t even need to take on a low-level green tea on her own. All it took was a straight male to make her cry.And it was true that Sun Manrou was very close to tears. Unfortunately, Old Mr. Wen paid her no more attention after that.Old Mr. Wen turned toward Tong Xuelu and his look became more affectionate. “Xuelu, you’ve mentioned all these ways to prepare chicken. Should I raise a few more?”Tong Xuelu smiled and said, “Theres no need for that. I can buy them from the CSMC when Grandpa Wen wants them in the future.”Old Mr. Wen smacked his lips. “I can’t let you pay for that. I’ll have Xiao Zong buy the chicken.”Uncle Zong nodded next to them. “The sun is getting stronger. Let’s head on inside the house.” He had no heart to have Young Grass stood out here in the sun.Old Mr. Wen felt the same way and hurried up and invited Tong Xuelu inside.All three of them seemed to have forgotten about Sun Manrou, who was still on the brink of tears standing outside.Sun Manrou, “……”Once they were inside the house, Tong Xuelu asked casually, “Who was that girl? Is she a relative of yours, Grandpa Wen?”Old Mr. Wen shook his head. “No, she’s a child living in the military compound. Her family had moved back here recently. She said she wanted to do an interview on a war hero so I accepted her invitation.”“Oh, I see.”Tong Xuelu sensed something.Buttering up to the elders is a commonly-seen trick of a low level green tea.Naturally, Green Tea Sun’s target wasn’t Old Mr. Wen or Uncle Zong.There were only three men in this household, so Wen Rugui was the only possible answer.She hadn’t expected someone would try to steal someone else’s boyfriend in this conservative era. She had been naïve. There were scums in any era.That being said, she had no intention of taking care of Green Tea Sun herself.She had read about this news before her transmigration. Whenever a husband cheated on his wife, and the wife brought relatives with her to beat up the third person. From Tong Xuelu’s perspective, it was the husbands that needed a beating.So what if they had taken care of the third person? There would only be the fourth, fifth, and sixth.What was the point of keeping a man that could be taken away from you?As such, she had no intention of a faceoff with Green Tea Sun. Besides, she was confident in Wen Rugui.
